I love the snoozing option as well as the copying of the email link to connect 2 emails that do not need to be intertwined with each other.

What do you like best about Front?

Based on my user's experience, I can tell Front is definitely a very useful tool. This software enables me to process claims and emails while at the same time tagging my coworkers for them to see my work achievements. I truly appreciate that it manages message templates, it's a huge time saver. It is a perfect mix between Messenger and Gmail ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

There is nothing to truly dislike about this software, at least based on my personal experience. The only thing I would mention is that it may have difficulty in giving access to some emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

Front is helping me to work very efficiently on a daily-basis as it supersedes all other softwares. Being able to share inboxes with my other co-workers is a real win-win. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

The ability to chat with my team inside of an email conversation has helped us target critical emails to ensure we provide the best information to our customers. We find ourselves using this functionality frequently every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

When you copy and paste an Excel table into the email, the Front Excel table doesn't pick up the cell coloring and formatting from the Microsoft Excel table. Also, some email threads that are out of our control can become massive. When these open up in Front, it can take a while for the application to open them up. Not sure if there is a way for the older emails to be truncated so the app can keep up with the email thread size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

Currently, we have no open issues. We did have a question about unassigning orders using the rules, which the Front team helped us resolve recently. Besides this, we haven't thought up new items that the Front team could help us resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

Front gave us the ability to have KPI's. It allows us to make sure our teams are level loaded and that customers are being responded to in an appropriate amount of time. On top of this, it allows us to track trends, get ahead of escalations, and is extremely easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The calendar feature isn't as intuitive as Outlook- the reminders are not as predominant. Also, the team wishes you could mark an email as "urgent". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are giving us visibility when we previously had none. It allowed us to transition to group email from personal, and have metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. It's great to hear that Front was an easy implementation for your team.

Please feel free to reach out to us at support@frontapp.com for recommendations on how to better manage holidays or teammates taking time away from the office. We're happy to help! :)

What do you like best about Front?

It makes it so much easier to collaborate with my colleagues. The ability to tag others in email threads is a feature I use everyday and the shared inboxes great too. The shared and private templates are also extremely useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

When using shared inboxes sometimes there's not an option to use your normal email signature but it's easily worked around. Overall Front is a great product, and I don't have any issues when using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

Front improves our team's ability to collaborate on projects. We often need cross team input when communicating with clients and resolving queries and Front makes this much simpler and reduces the need to duplicate emails and reply to all etc. The ability to tag colleagues, assign emails, and subscribe/unsubscribe to conversations all improve communication and efficiency (as does the template feature).

What do you like best about Front?

The most helpful things about front are:

*The built-in analytics of all the members of the team.

*You can receive feedback from your client, after closing an email

*Sharing links of your agenda and other people’s agenda.

*You can see the whole week at once when setting up a meeting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

You cannot set up a meeting from an email sent. In Outlook from an email, you can set up a meeting and in the invite, everyone can see why the meeting was scheduled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keep track of emails (making sure none is left without response)

Make sure SLAs are met.

Avoid two or more agents working on the same email.

See what are the top performers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Front?

It has changed how our business operates, replacing Zendesk as our support tool. However, it is much more than that. It provides a far more collaborative way of working, improving department communications and reducing email overload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

Having used it for two months, I'm struggling to find any, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

Initially, we purchased Front to act as our primary support channel. However, it has rapidly grown and is now integral to our sales and delivery teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Front?

Adding tags/comments between emails is something really simple, but its really helpful you can leave comments so your teammates can see it and work accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

The only thing I'm not really happy about is that when I'm trying to do a search, it doesn't pull up the email I'm looking for, even if I use keywords.

My coworkers also complain about the same issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

The whole team shares their inboxes so if one misses the day, it is easy to track and catch up with the emails assigned to that person.

We created a list for every customer, so it saves a lot of time when sending an email, because you don't have to add email by email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Otto B of Front

Hi Bryan! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We're happy to hear that Front can help save time for you and your team.

If you're having search issues, I recommend contacting us at support@frontapp.com so we can look into this for you! Thanks again, Bryan!

What do you like best about Front?

I really like that it's simple and easy to understand!

It has a nice user interface and so many helpful functions to manage your emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Front?

One thing I don't like, is that when you accidentally click on a random keyboard button, a mail directly goes into an archive or disappears and sometimes you don't even notice and wonder, where the mail got to. It's not deleted, but you randomly find it in a different mail folder or your archive. Maybe that's just me, but that's what I experienced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Front solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the problem of managing more than 2 emails. Since I co-own an artist management, where our creators receive many emails from different customers, we need all emails together. And with Front, we found the perfect solution and we can now answer and work on all emails in one user interface. No more switching accounts. Awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
